You may have found my essay with the same title in Saturday's and Sunday's editions of the Dallas Morning News in the Arts and Life Section. This story is about my now five year relationship with my birth father after his 25 year absence from life. You see, I thought he was dead. But shortly before my wedding in 2008, I found out that he was alive and that my birth mother was dying. When they say that truth is stranger than fiction, this is what they are talking about. Reuniting with anyone after such a long time, but especially with a parent, is dangerous and difficult and so often disappointing. It is not the stuff of fairy tales or made for TV moments. It is messy and hard and hopeful. This is a shortened version of the essay I wrote for the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference. I hope you will take the time to read and appreciate the struggle for identity all children face, especially those in foster care. More importantly, if you are considering reaching out to someone or have shared a similar experience, feel free to email me at email@example.com or leave a comment.

Day care in Dallas: Tips for Parents
This month's New Republic story "The Hell of American Day Care" is a eye opening article every parent should read. The magazine piece highlights clear issues in Texas and the appalling lack of oversight at home child care centers and even licensed facilities where child care workers need only a high school diploma or GED and where many make $20,000 a year, that's less than a janitor or groundskeeper. "In the United States, despite the fact that work and family life has changed profoundly in recent decades, we lack anything resembling an actual child care system. Excellent day cares are available, of course, if you have the money to pay for them and the luck to secure a spot. But the overall quality is wildly uneven and barely monitored, and at the lower end, it's Dickensian," writes author Jonathan Cohn. During his discussion with Terry Gross this week, host of NPR's Fresh Air , Cohn highlighted some of the major problems. "One of the tragedies of the situation," Cohn told Gross, "is that parents need these day cares to work, to make a living. You're talking about single parents a lot of the time. You're talking about families that aren't making a lot of money. They desperately need someone to watch the kids or they're not going to be able to make it, and there are just not a lot of options out there." Especially for parents who do not work a 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. schedule and those who can't make it to the day care center by close. And parents at the lower end of the spectrum simply can't pay outrageous tuition and can't afford the after hours care centers. ""We're not thinking about, 'Wow, we have this need out there. We need trained professionals to help fill it,' "Cohn said. "We're thinking, 'Oh yeah, someone's got to watch the kids. Let's pay 'em like baby sitters." And what results all too often is tragedy.

Dallas Food Swappers
Last week I joined the Taste the Honey Food Swappers in Dallas at their monthly food swap. And I scored some sweet and savory treats including the serrano salsa pictured to the left, some rhubarb jam, a yummy brioche and chocolate. If you have never been to a food swap before, I encourage you to visit this one in Dallas–they meet monthly and post their meeting locations on Facebook–or host your own.
The concept is very simple: bring food to swap with someone. Taste the Honey Food Swappers encourage participants to bring homegrown or homemade food. So if you have an extra bundle of tomatoes in your garden this summer, bring 'em. Or if you have serrano peppers or ingredients for a simple cookie mix or extra somethings in your pantry, make something to share. And make it portable and something that may last a day or two. Don't jar an already cooked casserole. I made these easy cracker cookies pictured to the left. I had peanut butter crackers, chocolate chips and almond bark in my pantry. Make sure to bring enough items to swap (four in this case) and make your selections presentable and tempting.
I chose to wrap cookies in parchment paper rather than dropping them in quick zip lock bags. I also placed them on a serving tray. You don't have to be a crafty Christy or go out and buy mason jars, but do know that this is an opportunity to creatively present your food and your recipe. And remember to keep the same cleanliness standards in your preparation as you would expect someone else to keep. I provided samples for people to taste–this is a must–and we each took turns sampling everyone's offerings, then we signed up for what we wanted and later we swapped. Not everyone who signs up for an item gets the item they want so make sure during the appointed swap time (which lasts about 30 seconds) you connect with the people who you really want to swap with. And I really wanted the salsa! It is soo good and I am still eating it. I signed up for multiple items (more than the four I brought to swap) and got what I wanted and all of my cookies were taken . This Dallas event is hosted monthly at different locations and includes wine! This group asks for a $1 donation. And the location we were at this month, the Wine Therapist, offered swappers a discount on wine by the glass. Anyone can do this. A group of friends, a church group, strangers. If you want more information about food swapping, check out foodswapnetwork.com. And if your are swapping in Fort Worth, let me know! I am looking to visit a group in Tarrant County.
Raising Respectful Boys in a Rape Culture
A recent comment on my recent Dallas Morning News article "How to Raise Respectful Boys" made me wonder, again, about the mixed messages our boys are receiving. Writes Tom, "I just don't think you can say that a man should "never, ever hit a woman." What about a male police officer arresting a large female on crystal meth? He may not have time to grab his taser and may need to defend himself." Continue reading
Why don't (more) feminists support women's college basketball?
I have tickets to the Big 12 Women's Tournament in Dallas this weekend. I'm taking my nephew with me, a 17-year-old boy. I'm not taking any girlfriends. It bothers me that even among my liberated sportsy girlfriends, the cheering is saved for men's sports. They like football. They like baseball. They like soccer. And among the non-sportsy-burn-your-bra crowd, sports aren't as important in the feminist frontlines as say more women-centric challenges such as equal pay or reproductive rights. I get that. Rock on Planned Parenthood. But as one of the few fans who does watch and support women's college basketball, I am always frustrated at the lack of attention the sport gets even with players as phenomenal as Brittney Griner, an All American and current national champion. (Full disclosure: I am a Baylor alum.) She's dunking for goodness sake and I can't get a local bartender to turn on a girl's game!
I previously wrote about my frustration with the lack of attention–and the lesbian bashing– the girls' teams get. Newsflash, not all female athletes behave the way we think girls should. It is so sexist to expect a female basketball player to have moves on the court and then emerge from the locker room in full makeup, heels and pearls gushing about being a girlie girl. That's what ESPN likes. That is not who Brittney Griner (and other athletes) have to be. As David Leonard wrote in his piece "The Misgenerding or Brittney Griner" for Slamonline.com, Griner's greatness is forgotten by her lack of girliness. "Unable to transform the narrative, in spite of her amazing (revolutionizing) play, Brittney Griner remains an afterthought within the basketball world. Unable to embody the traditional feminine aesthetic and beauty, yet fulfilling the stereotypes usually afforded to Black male ballers, there is little use for Griner within the national imagination. Her greatness is relatively invisible (outside of hardcore sports fans) because she simultaneously fits and repels our expectations for female athletes," wrote Leonard.
I want feminists out there reading this post to know something. Supporting women is as important as battling men. Instead of preaching about equality to my nephew, I am going to show him what it looks like in an arena, with a box of popcorn and a soda as we cheer on women athletes together. Because a male who supports women's college basketball is the best kind of feminist!
No french fries for my kid
Maybe I being a radical parent but I've decided not to feed my son french fries for now. Not chicken nuggets. Not fish sticks. Not beef patties. Or any other frozen, deep fried crud that I have had to spend the better part of my adulthood training myself not to eat. Why? Because it is the right thing to do. Continue reading
Dallas Woman Blogs From Rome
Check out former Dallasite Elizabeth Knight's blog Romeifyouwanto.com where she blogs about life in Rome. An Italian major at SMU, she later earned a law degree but decided to give up her Preston Hollow home, her laundry room and air conditioning for a room with a view of the Vatican. Nice. She is also going to appear on an upcoming episode of House Hunters International. Makes me miss Juarez, Mexico. Best international experience. Washed my clothes in a bucket and hanged them outside in the chicken yard to dry. They'd get crusty and kind of itched. Slept on a mattress on the floor. No TV. No couch. Had to ride city buses and only understood half of any conversations. Ate the best Mexican food at a neighbor's pop up kitchen down the street. Snacked on bean burritos from a pushcart. Drank mezcal from a Tupperware dish. Got horribly sick over and over again. It was truly awful and wonderful at the same time. Minus the violence, I'd go back in a second. I, too, have a case of the Dallas blahs. I mean, really, Starbucks everyday, paved roads, walking trails and landscaping and everything so easy is just no fun. Here's an excerpt from her piece in the Dallas Morning News.
"I graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2001 and majored in Italian. I went to Rome for what I thought would be a one-year adventure and ended up staying for four. It was the best time of my life. I was broke, I shared a bedroom with another girl, I huddled against the radiator, and I loved every minute of it.
I could never find a decent job, though, that didn't involve teaching English or answering phones, so I went back to the States and enrolled in law school at Emory University in Atlanta. I graduated in 2008, and moved back to Dallas to begin my law practice. I enjoyed it and being in Dallas again, but after four years I was feeling a bit like I was caught in a hamster wheel.
I started thinking about Rome again, even though it had been seven years since I left. I tried to ignore these feelings, but after months of agonizing, a former SMU professor said, "The only cure for this Italy thing is to just go there.""
Garland teen, 15, helps deliver baby brother at home
Moms everywhere should hope for a son like Dameyon Howard, the 15-year-old Garland teen who helped his mother deliver his baby brother at home. Dameyon attends the How to be a Man program at his school and was certainly one February 2 when his mom went into labor at home. He told WFAA, "She was like all out of breath saying, 'Call 911!,'" recalled 15-year-old Dameyon, Angela's oldest son. "I go to this program at my school… it's like 'How to be a Man.' I remember one program segment that said when you call 911, you've got to be calm. They said, 'Do you see the umbilical cord?' and I said, 'Yes.' They said 'Tie it with a string,'" Dameyon remembered. "I was running down the hall and couldn't find any string… and then I saw my brother's shoe." Later, after little brother Jassiah was born, healthy and two weeks early weighing eight pounds, two ounces, Dameyon was in a bit of a daze, "You know, I had to get my breath. It was just like mind-blowing!" he told WFAA. Great job, Dameyon!

On The Fly: Top stock stories for Tuesday
Stocks on Wall Street were mixed for the day, beginning the session in positive territory helped by better than expected earnings reports from JPMorgan (JPM), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Wells Fargo (WFC). The early economic data was slightly below Wall Street expectations and became a headwind for the market. By the end of the first hour of trading the market had turned negative, and it spent the remainder of the day trading in mixed fashion. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., retail purchases for March advanced 0.9%, bouncing up from a 0.5% decline in February. However, economists had predicted a 1.1% growth after improvements on last month's weather. The producer price index grew 0.2% for March, in line with consensus estimates. Core PPI grew 0.2% versus expectations of 0.1% growth. The International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook Report trimmed U.S. growth forecast to 3.1% from its previous outlook of 3.6%, while global forecast was left unchanged at 3.5%. COMPANY NEWS: Avon (AVP) surged 66c, or 8.24%, to $8.67 following a Wall Street Journal report that the company is exploring strategic alternatives, including potentially selling its North American business, though a Bloomberg report later in the day claimed the company is not conducting a formal sale process... Nokia (NOK) confirmed it is in "advanced discussions" to buy French telecom firm Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), prompting French President Francois Hollande to schedule meetings with leaders from both companies. Later in the day, the French government announced it supports the potential deal, with French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron stating Nokia reassured officials by detailing "clear undertakings." Nokia fell 34c, or 4.1%, to $7.96 at the close, while Alcatel jumped 58c, or 13.33%, to $4.93. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was 58.com (WUBA), which rallied 33.52%, or $17.04, to $67.87 after the Financial Times reported the company has signed a memorandum of understanding to merge with rival classifieds service Ganji.com. Also higher was PartnerRe (PRE), which advanced 8.49% to $129.25 after EXOR proposed to acquire the company for $130.00 per share in cash, valuing PartnerRe at $6.4B. Following earnings, JPMorgan (JPM) advanced 1.56% to $63.04 after beating expectations, while Wells Fargo (WFC) fell 0.73% and Johnson & Johnson fell 0.03% after reducing its FY15 earnings guidance. Among the noteworthy losers was Arrowhead Research (ARWR), which tumbled 7.75% after Jefferies downgraded the stock to Hold and lowered its price target to $9 from $30. The firm said that while ARC-520 offers the potential for a Hepatitis B virus functional cure, it prefers to wait for multi-dosing data. Also lower was Norfolk Southern (NSC), which dropped 4.18% to $100.49 and was downgraded to Hold at TD Securities following first quarter guidance that fell below expectations. INDEXES: The Dow rose 59.66, or 0.33%, to 18,036.70, the Nasdaq lost 10.96, or 0.22%%, to 4,977.29, and the S&P 500 advanced 3.41, or 0.16%, to 2,095.84.
French government supporting potential Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent deal, Reuters says
The French government has decided to back the potential takeover of Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) by Nokia (NOK), according to Reuters. French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron said Nokia provided "clear undertakings" that reassured him about the potential deal, the news service stated.

On The Fly: Top stock stories at midday
Stocks on Wall Street were mixed at midday despite better than expected headline earnings from JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). The market began the session in positive territory on the heels of those solid earnings reports, but the averages were unable to hold their early gains as the retail sales figures released during the pre-market trading session missed expectations. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., retail purchases grew 0.9% in March, rebounding from a 0.5% decline in February. However, economists were expecting a more pronounced 1.1% advance in recovery from the prior month's weather driven weakness. The producer price index rose 0.2% in March, matching expectations. The core PPI, which excludes food and energy, grew 0.2% as well, versus expectations for it to have risen 0.1%. Business Inventories grew 0.3% in February, versus expectations for them to be up 0.2%. The International Monetary Fund, in its latest World Economic Outlook Report, trimmed its U.S. growth forecast to a 3.1% pace from its prior 3.6% view, but left its global forecast intact at a 3.5% rate. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of JPMorgan advanced 1.5% after its headline earnings per share topped expectations, even before accounting for 13c per share in aftertax legal expense that the bank identified as a "significant item." Conversely, fellow large bank Wells Fargo (WFC) slid 1.5% after its own report on first quarter results, despite the fact that its earnings and revenue both topped the consensus forecast... Shares of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) were fractionally higher at midday after its first quarter earnings and revenue beat expectations. The multinational company, however, lowered its FY15 adjusted earnings outlook, citing further negative foreign currency movements... Nokia (NOK) and Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), in response to "recent media speculation," confirmed that they are in advanced discussions with respect to a potential full combination, which would take the form of a public exchange offer by Nokia for Alcatel. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was 58.com (WUBA), which jumped 25% after Financial Times reported the company has signed a memorandum of understanding to merge with peer Ganji.com to create one of the largest specialized online classified companies in China. Also higher was PartnerRe (PRE), which advanced nearly 9% to trade near $129.50 after Europe based investment company EXOR announced that it submitted a written proposal to acquire 100% of the common shares of the company for $130.00 per share in cash, valuing PartnerRe at $6.4B. EXOR said its all-cash proposal represents a 16% premium to the implied value per share of $112.53 for PartnerRe under the merger deal it has in place with AXIS Capital (AXS). Among the noteworthy losers was Arrowhead Research (ARWR), which tumbled over 6% after Jefferies downgraded the stock to Hold and cut its price target for shares to $9 from $30 after assuming coverage of the stock. The firm said that while ARC-520 offers the potential for a Hepatitis B virus functional cure, it prefers to wait for multi-dosing data. Also lower was Norfolk Southern (NSC), which fell nearly 6% and was downgraded to Hold from Buy at TD Securities after the railroad operator provided first quarter guidance that came in below analysts' consensus estimates. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 53.15, or 0.3%, to 18,030.19, the Nasdaq was down 16.19, or 0.32%, to 4,972.06, and the S&P 500 was up 2.20, or 0.11%, to 2,094.63.
French government intends to weigh in on Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent deal, WSJ says
French President Francois Hollande will meet with executives from Nokia (NOK) and Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) later today after Nokia confirmed it was in "advanced discussions" to buy its rival, reports the Wall Street Journal. The meeting indicates France's desire to weigh in on the deal and protect strategic interests. The country's economy ministry earlier Tuesday said, �The government will be very vigilant regarding the possible consequences on employment and activity at the French sites of Alcatel-Lucent, notably in research and development, as well as the effects on the entire telecoms sector in France."

The O'Reilly Factor
The million-copy New York Times bestseller from the Fox News anchor who's brought new excitement–and massive amounts of populist common sense and rock-solid honesty–to television news.
Now four seasons strong, Bill O'Reilly's nightly cable news program, "The O'Reilly Factor," is one of the hottest shows on the air. In book form, The O'Reilly Factor has sold over a million copies and spent fourteen weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Obviously, Bill O'Reilly has made his mark. His blunt, ironic, no-holds-barred style has earned him a devoted audience–friends and foes alike–who send him five thousand letters every week. And with the wit and intelligence that have made him one of the most talked-about stars in both television and publishing, O'Reilly continues to identify what's right, what's wrong, and what's absurd in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of America.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
What they say about Bill O'Reilly:
"The O'Reilly Factor is a straight, serious, no-nonsense show. Bill O'Reilly has a firm graspof the issues, and he asks the tough questions other hosts won't."
—William J. Bennett
"I may be damaging Bill O'Reilly's reputation by praising him in public. Nonetheless, even though he is wrong about most things, politically speaking, he is invariably fair and encourages debates. His program is always worth watching."
—Lanny Davis, Former Special Counsel to the President (1996-1998)
"I just returned from a trip to Vietnam, and one of the reasons I went was to prepare myself for being back on The O'Reilly Factor because Bill O'Reilly uses some of their old interrogation techniques."
—Senator John McCain
"The O'Reilly Factor is a consistently informative, entertaining program that deals with important, contemporary issues. I appreciate Bill O'Reilly's 'no shtick' and 'take no prisoners' approach. The passion, sincerity, and voracity with which he handles his work are refreshing."
—Dr. Laura C. Schlessinger
"It's hard to pin a label on Bill O'Reilly. Is he a liberal conservative or a conservative liberal? But whatever his political leanings, his show is a hard-hitting, fast-moving discussion of events at the top of the news. No one walks away from it, guest or viewer, without admiration for The O'Reilly Factor."
—Geraldine A. Ferraro
"Bill O'Reilly overpowers . . . with his direct, take-no-prisoners point of view. How a Gentile could be the greatest talk show host in history is something I will never be able to figure out."
—Jackie Mason

Appealing your NBEO score (self.optometry)
submitted 2 years ago by d_pug
I was thinking about potentially appealing my NBEO score for part 3. Does anyone know of anybody who has successfully appealed to the NBEO or is it just a way for the board to make more money?
[–]liarliarplants4hire 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
So, what exactly caused your failure?
[–]d_pug[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
that's exactly what I'd like to know. they too a huge chunk of points away from me for 90D and I can't imagine why I deserved to lose that many points. Also I lost a huge chunk off refraction, I'm thinking because I didn't say my monocular subjective result out loud for just the right eye. I didnt think it would be that big of a deal as long as I did the process right, but now with the video recording style they only thing they have to go on is your spoken recordings of your findings so if you forget to say something they treat it as if you didn't do it apparently and you lose everything. That's what happened for refraction I think at least, I just lost a lot of points for not saying my results for the right eye before doing the left and binocular balance so that screwed me big time. Now I have no idea why I lost so many points on 90D, it could be that their video view was messed up while mine was perfectly clear, I don't think I forgot to say anything crucial during that. If it's a video issue that scares me going in, you can ask the preceptor in the room if they have a view but they won't tell you if it's a clear view so you basically have to guess, that's very scary for me and I worry that I may have to concede that or something because I'll never be able to know what my view looks like on their end.
It was a 76% pass rate for part III for the month of October, that seems unprecedented and I don't think it accurately describes the competence level of many of the candidates. I plan on fighting the NBEO on their manner of administration of the test and I don't plan on spending any of my money for their appeals fees.

Last week hubby and I were talking and we were trying to think of when the last Saturday was that we had absolutely NO PLANS. A day we had to relax, not worry about running errands, meeting up with people at a certain time etc.
We started going back on our calendars....and we couldn't find a Saturday that we had NO PLANS since this past May.....I kid you not!!!
After realizing this I declared.....
and that's exactly what we did:)
I slept in until about 9:00 and hubby whipped up some pumpkin pancakes...
After we stuffed ourselves....we literally laid around in our pajamas on the couch and watched HGTV until about 11:30:) At that point I decided....
I'm going to take a long, hot shower and take my sweet time getting dressed today!
So I did:)
I stopped by the kitchen for a Dove chocolate and the wrapper even knew that it was "DO NOTHING DAY" in our house...
So hubby and I put our sweats on and drove up to Chipotle for some lunch.
After we wolfed down some burrito bowls I suggested we walk around the mall and check out the Santa display....
So we did:)
After that we headed to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for home made mac & cheese.
When we got home we did some more sitting around and relaxing and TV watching.
Then decided to pop open a bottle of vino just in time for the Celtics tip off at 7:00pm
I woke up Sunday feeling more refreshed and relaxed than ever!!!
So look at your calendars, friends....and make some time for YOU soon:)

A to Z: Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
A to Z: Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve).
More to Know
MS is a chronic disease, which means it's a disease that a person has for a long time. With MS, the body's own immune cells attack the layer of tissue (called myelin) that surrounds and protects the nerves. Scars then develop that slow down or block the signals that travel between the brain and the body.
Symptoms come and go in episodes or attacks and vary depending on what nerves are affected. They can include vision problems, fatigue or weakness, difficulty with balance or coordination, and slurred speech. They can last for just a couple of days or several months. MS also can become increasingly debilitating with no periods of remission.
MS can be diagnosed at any age, but most people learn of their disease between the ages of 20-40. It is rare in kids.
Keep in Mind
There is no known cure for multiple sclerosis, but medications can help control symptoms, reduce the number of relapses, and slow down the progression of the disease.
People with MS can help manage their symptoms with physical and occupational therapy. Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly also contribute to overall health and well-being for people living with MS.

Coupled Map Lattice (Pls. Check the Mathematica Code and advice)
I am trying a code as per Mathematuca Guide for Graphics.. but not sure wheter it will work or not.. even for low range/iterations it takes tooo long time.................. (the problem is given at the end). Here goes the code: Module[{rang = 500, k = 0.9, omega = 0.068, epsilon = 0.3, incr = 0.2}, step[l_, epsilon_, f_] := (1 - epsilon)f(l) + (epsilon/2) (f[RotateRight[l]] + f[RotateLeft[l]]); f = FractionalPart[# - k/(2Pi)Sin[2Pi#] + omega] &; lembda = Abs[Sin[7^(1/7)Range[rang]]]; tabul = Table[lembda = step[lembda, epsilon, f]; {#, j} & /@ Flatten[Position[Abs[Subtract @@@ Partition[lembda, 2, 1]], _?(# > incr &)]], {j,rang}]; Show[Graphics[Map[Rectangle[# - .5, # + .5] &, tabul, {2}]], AspectRatio -> Automatic]] The Problem: We have a continuous variable x_i(t) at each site i at time t where 1<=i<=N. The evolution of x_i(t) is defined by x_i(t+1) = F[x_i(t)] - (epsilon/2)[x_(i-1)(t) +x_(i+1)(t) - 2x_i(t)] The parameter 'epsilon' is the coupling strength and the function F(x) is the circle map F(x)= x + omega -(k/2*Pi)sin(2*Pi*x) The dynamics is confined to the interval [0,1] using If int[x_i(t)]=m, x_i(t)=x_i(t)-m if x_i(t) >0 x_i(t)=x_i(t)-m+1 if x_i(t)<0 The fixed point solution of for the local map F(x) is given by x* = (1/2*Pi) sin(-1)(2*Pi*omega/k) My Problem is to draw "Space-Time" plot for the system, for say omega=0.068, epsilon=0.3, k=0.9, N=500.

I'm sure that as he begins to understand the text of this book, it will bring him great assurance that he is special, just as God made him. (He's adopted and is a different race than I am...so this will be important as he begins to notice the differences between himself and his parents.)

I am so excited to find it here, and am purchasing it and its companion book (God Loves You Very Much) for his birthday. What a great way to teach a young child that God made him and loves him very much! P.S. - The book is oversized (little ones love that!) and very durable. Unfortunately, my son is very rough with books, but this one has held up well.

Suggestions for a hand launch glider?
I'm looking for a HLG as a present for my husband this Father's Day. He used to fly, LOVED it and has not flown in 5 or 6 years. He is very experienced and was to the point of competition, though had not entered in any.
He mentioned he wants a hn1033, v tail, 60" with ailerons. I know next to nothing about HLG, was looking at Art Hobby's Hyper 1.5...? Any suggestions out there? With his experience I suppose adding the ailerons is no big deal? Thanks all!! |

Call. Soaring USA.
www.soaringusa.com Talk to Bob ...they offer a building service as well. I'd go with a modern molded model for him. |
Hand launch is pretty much considered old school and doesnt get half the launch height as a Discus launch
DLG is really what he needs [if he likes his shoulders intact. Hand launching can be done with a V tail Disc launching snaps off V tails The hn1033 are also old school Things to look for in the plus category -ag455 or Drela foils -edge foils -zone foils -AUWeights no more than 10 ounces -consider if the glider [if buying used] is set up for either a lt hand thrower or a rt hand thrower Art hobby gliders have there purpose but really are not what a experience flyer will flourish with. They are heavy and better suited for forms of flying/soaring that are not so particular about weight Also, The "sticky"" thread at the top of this page is of great use when guys like me suggest things like -topsky two -predator -taboo http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=728220 IMO if buying new. You want to spend about 300-400 |

I disagree about the price...
You'll need to spend at least 1000 dollars. |
Flying Family, what a great present you are looking in to!
You do not need to spend a grand to get a great gift for him it would help to know if he wants a DLG or a hand launch. It would also be nice to have a budget for suggestions. There are many great choices now that fall between the two ranges provided already. |
Your husband is one lucky dude.
There is really only one sure fire way you'll be sure to get him the right plane/equipment and that is to give him a gift certificate and let him choose. Something else to bear in mind is, does he still have radio equipment? Even if he does you need to consider how old it is. If he last flew 5-6 years ago, it's quite possible his radio gear was several years old then. This hobby is ever evolving and sometimes at a very rapid pace. As an example, if he decides to go into discus launch gliders (DLG) his old gear just may not be capable of the necessary programming. So it would be best to just give him the cash to go hog wild where he sees fit. Cash being the operative word there, instead of buying certificate from a certicertain vendor. If you get him a Soaring USA certificate, after some research, he might really want a plane that only Skip Miller or some other vendor has. |

Sage Advice!
Great thoughts on the discus launch. I'm sure he would appreciate the ease of this over the HLG. I was hoping to keep it under $300 if possible. My husband is very capable and knowledgable so I'm sure he'll roll with whatever I choose as long as its somewhat intermediate, plus he'll be so thrilled to get back into it, he'll enjoy the technical updates. I really can't go wrong, he's getting back in to an awesome hobby.
Pretty awesome Father's Day present for his first father's day to hand him a plane, better than a gift certificate... |

Building/ assembling these things is not easy.
I would definitely call Bob and ask for his advice. He will not steer you wrong even if you don't buy from him. I'm sure Skip is cool too... I simply don't know him yet. |
Flying Family, In your price range you can get him one of the TopSky or Predator models. This will be for the air frame only without radio gear. Then he will be able to learn about the new stuff and equip the plane. There is a lot of manual labor in building the parts for one of these which is why the kits tend to cost more than some other types of planes. There are a plethora of new planes on the market that are very high performance in the 4-700 range for an air frame. Servos and radio gear can be moved from model to model in many cases after that frame is retired. Many opt to go with new gear. |

I tell people to call Barry Kennedy and get a Blaster. Parts are availble and he usally has them in stock. Good colors and as I said they have parts if one breaks. D-box to full carbon. These are good competitive DLG's. This is a good starter for the experinced sailplane guy wanting a DLG

Hi brother Jim The main reason I have my planes assembled, is for the education. I like to know the secrets that the professionals use, with the understanding that a build will not tell you everything. As you know, the ailerons on the Steigeisen take special preparation to avoid flutter on launch. Thomas' build would not tell me that. What it did tell me, was the layout and length of all the internal connections. I have become quite the expert doing repairs and replacements. I'm not lazy, I just want it done right... and once I see something, I'm usually good enough with my hands to duplicate it. Reading the OP, and seeing that he's been away from the hobby for a while, I thought my suggestion might be worth considering, in case he has similar reasons. |

I casually asked him about building planes and he told me he's built a bunch of planes, and varying kinds including foam and fiberglass ones. We're in South Carolina. Like most fun hobbies you're passionate about, I know the $300 is a drop in the bucket with much more to come. Figure radio gear can follow this summer, with the simple intent to get back in it for now.
Grateful for your time and suggestions all!! |

Yup, we've given birth to another monster in the series of large format, too-heavy-to-carry hardcovers for Edition Reuss Publishing. This time it's an ode to color bombs -- 496 pages filled with them. I'm honored to have worked with 42 exceptional artists from around the world (they are listed below), selecting 580 images of their stellar tattoo and fine art, as well as interviewing a number of them for thoughts on tattooing (and some personal gossip).

It's a highly literal title to describe a book dedicated to graphic, animated tattoos as well as the paintings and drawings of tattooists. Were this book to be published in the 80s and early 90s, it may have simply been called New School -- a label often used to describe art that didn't fit into traditional tattoo categories like Americana, Tribal, & Japanese. But today, with styles blurring and evolving at a great pace, these highly saturated works are moving in different directions, defying easy classification with a catchy title. I briefly discuss this movement in my introduction and in the artist interviews, but we've largely let the work speak for itself on these full-color pages.

This Friday is the book release party and art show of A Novel Idea? The Art of Dave Fox at JINXED/The Toothless Cat in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia. The opening coincides with the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention that runs from Friday through Sunday. [Dave will also be hosting the closing party for the convention.]
A Novel Idea? is a 240-page collection of Dave's paintings spanning over 13 years, compiled in a hardcover deluxe format released by Presto Publishing. It includes a parade of the trippy characters who populate Dave's tattoos as well as fine art. At the opening, 20 original paintings from the book will be on display and for sale. Dave will be signing copies of A Novel Idea?, which can be purchased for $40. Renowned for his "new school" work since the nineties, Dave continues to inspire, invigorating his new works with a blend of Japanese iconography and animated compositions. Dave says that he's inspired by cartoon and heavy metal album artwork, creating "an eclectic, contently-confused mix of scary monsters, pretty girls, twisted flowers, and disturbed animals that have been known to send the viewer home laughing or leaving cross-eyed with a feeling of pure meaninglessness." All in good fun, of course. Dave is currently working at Black Vulture Gallery, in Fishtown, Philly. For appointments, email him at davefoxtattoos at comcast.net.

Costly win in Chicago...Giants end their November slump
UNDATED (AP) - The Chicago Bears got Jay Cutler back after missing a game because of a concussion and he led the Bears to an easy 28-10 win over Minnesota at Soldier Field. Cutler threw for 188 yards and one TD. The Bears raced out to a 25-3 halftime lead and improved to 8-3. The Bears have beaten the Vikes six straight games.
But the victory could be costly. The Bears lost ace return man Devin Hester to a concussion. Also, running back Matt Forte and top cornerback Charles Tillman suffered ankle injuries. Both of Chicago's starting guards also were injured. Thanks to Green Bay's loss Sunday night, the Bears have a one-game lead over the Packers in the NFC North.
In other Week 12 action:
--The New York Giants snapped their two-game slide by routing Green Bay 38-10 in the matchup of the last two Super Bowl champs. Eli Manning tossed three TDs to give him 200 career TD passes, passing Phil Simms to become the Giants all-time leader in that department. The Giants own a two-game lead atop the NFC East.
- The San Francisco 49ers returned a pair of Drew Brees interceptions for touchdowns in their 31-21 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Colin Kaepernick is 2-0 as a starter in relief of Alex Smith.
--Baltimore rallied from a 13-3 deficit to edge San Diego 16-13 in overtime. The Ravens are 9-2, good for a three-game lead in the AFC North. The key play for the Ravens came when they were facing fourth down and 29 yards to go late in regulation and Ray Rice converted a screen pass for a first down
-- The Atlanta Falcons survived a dogfight in Tampa Bay and eked out a 24-23 win over the Bucs to improve to 10-1. Matt Ryan threw for 353 yards. Michael Turner's 1-yard TD run with 7:55 left put the Falcons on top. The win enables the Falcons to keep pace with Houston for the NFL's best record.
- Peyton Manning threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, and Denver rallied for its sixth straight win, 17-9 over Kansas City.
-- Cincinnati moved back into the playoff picture with its third straight win, 34-10 over the hapless Raiders. The Bengals are 6-5. Andy Dalton tossed three TDs.
-- Cleveland surprised Pittsburgh 20-14. The Browns forced eight Steelers turnovers as Pittsburgh struggled with third-quarterback Charlie Batch.
--Indianapolis improved to 7-4 with a 20-13 win over Buffalo. T.Y. Hilton scored on a 75-yard punt return and caught an 8-yard TD pass from Andrew Luck.
--Jacksonville snapped a seven-game losing streak by surprising Tennessee 24-19. Two TD passes for Chad Henne.
- Dan Carpenter kicked a 43-yard field goal on the final, and Miami scored 17 points in the last 8:08 to down Seattle 24-21.
-- St. Louis downed Arizona 31-17. Janoris Jenkins became the first player in Rams history and the first NFL rookie since 1960 to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game.

From the Publisher
This approach offers an uninterrupted presentation of the historical story, while still tendering to those interested in the many contemporary debates material for their consideration. I give this book a hearty recommendation for anyone with even a passing interest in the history of ethics. One need not be a scholar on these matters to enjoy and benefit from reading it....Michael Gill's book is also indispensable for the scholar. I find myself in awe of his accomplishments here, and his book will undoubtedly be a touchstone for future discussions of early modern moral thought."Elizabeth S. Radcliffe Nortre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Gill leads us to revise our understanding of the opposition between 'rationalism' and 'sentimentalism'...On the philological level, the work is very well documented and argued."
Laurent Jaffro, Journal of the History of Philosophy
"Gill's discussion is consistently lucid and insightful, examining difficult texts with a deft hand that rarely labors over the subject matter."
18th Century Scotland, Daniel Carey, National University of Ireland- Galway

But I've never raced a mile, attempted cross-country or donned fancy dress. Nor have I run a European city marathon or braved a fell race. "Many of us get stuck in a pattern of doing the same training and the same races, year after year," says Keith Anderson, running coach at Full Potential (fullpotential.co.uk). And while this may give you a very accurate performance record, it is unlikely to yield the best results - or the most enjoyment - from your running. "If you don't mix up the distance and type of event you're working towards, your training can become stale," says Anderson. This year, why not let your running take you on a journey of exploration? Our slideshow provides a whole year's worth of races to aim for, challenging your speed, stamina, strength and skill. Whether you pick and mix or take on the whole challenge, the chances are that 2011 will be your fittest year yet. Look out for me at the Amsterdam Marathon - I'll be the one in the big fluffy bear suit.

2010 has been my worst year - I have been struggling with injuries. There say time heal! Roll on 2011.
Hopefully you have managed to get to the cause of the injuries and 2011 will be a better year........
I have my fingers crossed that I will be running in 2012 Olympics
I need to have a sport test but damn thing is so expensive! Does the NHS do it? And where is the nearest sport test in Kent?
A lengthy test that monitor your fitness.

Would any gym or PT not do that? Though I wouldn't have thought the NHS as its not really a health issue.

Telegent Systems and Konka Group, a manufacturer of mobile phones and TV sets, announced at last week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, a partnership to deliver mobile handsets featuring free-to-air TV.
Konka is using Telegent's TLG1100 single-chip mobile TV receiver to enable the mobile TV feature on the handset. Designed specifically for mobile environments, it supports NTSC, PAL and most worldwide FM standards and can deliver a stable picture at speeds of up to 430km/h. The handsets are expected to begin shipping globally during the second quarter of 2008.
Telegent Systems is one of the few semiconductor manufacturers in the world to offer chip receivers designed to pick up terrestrial analog signals for mobile TV services. It designs chips for digital mobile TV standards such as DVB-H, but feels it is important to give operators and broadcasters the ability to offer mobile TV using existing analog infrastructures and signals.
